    That tug should last another 60 years! What a great find and wonderful addition to your fleet! So glad to see another chapter in your boating life. Stay well and stay safe!

      I'm thinking with this man it may require a lot more than 12 steps. Just think if he found a cheap submarine at the auction.

    I’ve enjoyed your posts since your first boat. I like your new tug boat the best of your fleet. The mechanics are awesome. I look forward to watching you fix it up. I enjoy your calm voice in your descriptions and wish you fair winds and high tides.

    I saw this guy spray his aluminum boat on the inside with this product used in the bed of American pickup trucks . It’s a rubberized bed liner about 3 to 4 mm thick it did a amazing job eliminating vibrations and noise also it insulated the boat and helped with condensation, there are quite a few brands. Also it is chemical and oil proof

  • @paulstalker4186
    @paulstalker4186 Год назад +1

    Another great video, thank you. When you're working on something you love, it's important to work on it when you want to work on it. Whatever you do, you manage to influence others into either getting a boat or getting on with the one that they have, speaking for myself there! The new guy is doing well and will also save time constantly setting up the camera. Looking forward to the next one.

  • @normanboyes4983

    The wooden deck on your tug boat could use some TLC! A good sanding and refinish with a good quality varnish and it would look great. That tug boat was a great find and I bet the price was very good as well. Enjoy.

    There is no need to put spacers on the ends of the boards. Wood does not expand lengthwise. It will only expand across the grain.

    We may have to do a intervention on him if he keeps buying boats.🤣My man bought a single boat and hasn't stopped since. But that tugboat is sick, that's an amazing find and buy, can't wait to see what he does with it.

  • @petermastenbroek7719
    @petermastenbroek7719 Год назад

    That looks like a very good buy, I enjoyed the tour of the inside and I like her hull-shape too. There is however one little thing you'll have to change in your story about the engine starting at 20:12 you say that it's advised to turn the camshaft, but with the steel bar in the flywheel you are turning the CRANKSHAFT, of course when the crankshaft is turning the camshaft is turning too, but you didn't turn the camshaft with the steel bar. I wish you much pleasure with your new addition to the fleet.
    All the very best, and success, Peter.

    Hi from Russia. Glad that You got a new project with new boat. It seems that it has not so much space inside, but much bigger open space outside. Let's say, You got an armored slow-moving open terrace. If compare with cars, Your first boat was like VW transporter bus. The last one is like Mercedes Unimog, isn't it?

    Hello there. Thanks for a nice section in your ongoing work, I love your new boat with old technology that really works, when I had my steel boat it was built in 1946 for the Navy, it had similar controls for steering throttle and rudder and everything was massively built to last forever, it's so nice to see your projects take shape and know that it will last long into the future 😄 looking forward to Next video. Take care. 👍

    I sailed myself with two boats that had a "Kromhout" engine. The ferry in Spakenburg. With a "Kromhout" 1 cylinder. And "de Dinkel" from Amsterdam. With a 2 cylinder "Kromhout". The "Dink". Now in the Maritime Museum in Amsterdam. And the 2 cylinder "Kromhout" can be seen inside. I was allowed to sail with the "Dinkel ". In 1995, with the world Jamboree Zeewolde. Peter, was already unable to handle the tug alone. Gerben T, Spakenburg, The Netherlands.

Sadly we wont be able to complete the project and someone else will have to finish her. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

    At 10mins in it looks like you're using a brad point drill bit to try drill metal. You will have a lot moire luck with drill bits designed for penetrating steel.
